    Agender Films to Watch for Agender Pride Day

    Posted on

    May 19 is Agender Pride Day, so you know what that means? Happy Agender Pride Day! For anyone who isn’t familiar with Latin, the prefix “a-” means “without”. Thus, agender means one who is without gender. Folks who identify themselves as agender do not associate with one particular gender. Other terms used include genderblank, genderfree, genderless, gendervoid, non-gendered, ungendered, and null gender. Many use the pronouns “they/them”, however people choose whatever they feel comfortable using….

    Queer Biography Films For Pride Month

    Posted on

    It’s nearly June, so you know what that means, right? It’s PRIDE Month!!! Well, for folks living in the US that is! (For those of us queer folk living in the UK, Australia, & here with me in New Zealand, our Pride month was actually back in February.) During June, all LGBTQ & Queer sites will be promoting various Pride-related posts, products, etc – and many larger companies will be hoping on the Queer bandwagon…

    10 Lesbian Films to Watch for Lesbian Visibility Week

    Posted on

    It’s Lesbian Visibility Week!!! But wait… what IS Lesbian Visibility Week? The entire week is dedicated to celebrate lesbians, promoting solidarity with all LGBTQ women and non-binary folks in the queer community. Interestingly, it was originally celebrated during July West Hollywood from 1990-92. However in 2020, backed by Diva magazine, the weeklong celebration was moved to coincide with Lesbian Visibility Day, an annual celebratory day in the UK for lesbians on April 26 that itself…

    10 Best-Rated Queer Films to Buy/Watch on Amazon & Prime Video

    Posted on

    While many today still consider films that feature queer LGBTQ characters and storylines rather niche, that is actually quite far from the reality. There are HUNDREDS of LGBTQ films, shorts, & series to buy on DVD or BlueRay from Amazon alone. In fact, if we focus on queer films you can stream or watch online, there are THOUSANDS – with over two thousand to be found just on Prime Video! So with such a plethora…

    Today we’re venturing into a bit of a grey area… Queer Adult Films. I’m sure with those words alone, you’ve got a certain kind of film in mind. But wait – Michael, are you actually going to review THOSE kinds of films! Nope! While many folks might not see the difference, there actually is a subtle distinction between queer adult films and porn. So what makes a film an “Adult” film instead of just calling…

    More Queer Comedy Films

    Posted on

    Last year I shared five Queer Comedy Films – all FIVE of which are incredible comedies! But it’s time I make a confession… I had quite a difficult time paring down a rather long list of amazing queer comedy films to just five. I simply couldn’t! Somehow I managed to select just ten films. I listed them by IMDb’s rating, and only shared the first five in last year’s post. And now it’s time to…

    I’ll be the first to confess – this month’s theme was a tricky one to plan! Sure, it’s easy to find a list of queer films & shorts that IMDb includes under their News genre. But the bigger question I had was: what makes a queer News film DIFFERENT from a queer Documentary? According to IMDb, films in the “News” genre are defined as: “Reports and discussion of current events of public importance or interest….

    ‘Tis the month of love & romance – it’s Valentine’s Day! Time to get bombarded with pink & red hearts, Cupid’s arrows, and outbursts of love. While not everyone is ready to enjoy this commercial holiday, it can be hard to ignore the allure of romcoms or romantic films. (For those of you looking for something different, unfortunately this post isn’t for you). If you’re after some great queer romcoms, you can check out this…

    Favorite Queer Shorts

    Posted on

    Every month, I post a new collection of queer films & shorts. These “Top 5” posts are almost always connected by a theme, and of course to make it interesting, I run a guessing game across my social media channels. However, most of the films included in these posts are queer films – NOT queer shorts. (Partly due to bias as I determine the films in each post based of IMDb ratings, and there are…

  • Queer Holiday Film Reviews for 2022

    Queer Holiday Film Reviews for 2022

    Posted on

    Overall, 2022 has a general lack of new queer Christmas films, and none of them are premiering early enough to actually write a review. To be honest, unless I want to quickly throw a review together last minute, it’s quite difficult to write my usual full reviews when queer Christmas films actually premier. So I was actually partially thankful we don’t have many to look forward to this year. In contrast, there was a MASSIVE…

    Queer Holiday Shorts for 2022

    Posted on

    For all the hype that feature films or even TV movies get when they premiere (queer or not), short films just seem to fade into the background – unless you’re a major fan of the short film genre or follow the film festivals. So I take pride with my Queer Shorts feature on Queer Film Reviews. But even I sometimes have to do a bit of digging to find short films to meet a specific…

    Can you believe that it has been THREE YEARS since I launched Queer Film Reviews? Yup! It all started with six new queer Christmas film reviews as part of my “Top 5 Christmas Films” post in 2019. (Wait… six reviews? It was a Top 5 post? Well, it was five films – plus a special mention!) While I haven’t always been consistent with publishing new film reviews, (aka – let’s ignore the fact that I…

    3 NEW Queer Christmas Films for 2022

    Posted on

    I’m not a huge fan of analogies, but there’s one that comes to mind while I searched for all of the new queer Christmas films premiering this holiday season. It involves a river, a dam, and climate change. For decades, the unique Christmas film niche greatly lacked any queerness; like a river that was damned, letting a small trickle through with the occasional independent queer Christmas film making its way through. In 2020, the dam…

    More “Kinda” Queer Christmas Films

    Posted on

    In 2020, I shared my Christmas post that stirred up a bit of discussion: Christmas Films that are Kinda Queer. Having rewatched most of these films since then, I stand by my decision that all of those films are only KINDA queer Christmas films. But there actually are even MORE films that meet the same criteria! Which is exactly why this year’s post was needed. But first, let me refresh you on what defines a…

    Today is NATIONAL COMING OUT DAY! It is a day celebrated world-wide, though its roots harken back to the United States. While you can come out any day of the year, many choose to tie their coming out with National Coming Out Day as an act of solidarity. There are also many who are privately out to their family and friends, but not out to the rest of the world. Every year there are more…
